Isolated pancreatic tuberculosis is a rare presentation of tubercular infection. There are few reported cases of pancreatic tuberculosis diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration (EUS FNA), though EUS is often used in the evaluation of pancreatic cystic lesions. We present a case of a tubercular pancreatic abscess presenting as a cystic lesion in a patient with undiagnosed immunodeficiency. The abscess was aspirated by EUS FNA and treated with endoscopic drainage and anti-mycobacterial medications.

Study Objectives •To determine whether a five-second viewing of a patient contributes to prediction of disposition. Conclusion •For all but the resident group, a five second viewing of a patient contributes to prediction of disposition status. •The effect size is small, however. Such quick visual impressions may provide a piece of the overall decision-making process in the final disposition of patients.
